Committed


This is the area above the doorway that dh patched and sanded.


Laundry sink and basket storage.



This was one of the best things we added in here to hang
clothes out of the dryer.


Laundry room devoid of all it's character.
This didn't look as bad as it does now.

Well, I did it. I emptied out the laundry room and washed down the walls. Then dh decided he needed to sand those recently mudded drywall areas. (after he just told me to sponge the high spots and it would be fine.) Oh.my.God. What a mess. He comes out of the laundry room and proudly declares, "It's all ready for you to wash down the walls!"
But- wait a minute! (didn't I just do that?) Well, needless to say I spent the next hour washing down everything all over again, sweeping and vacuuming the finest drywall dust off every square foot of that 6x14 laundry room. (with a vaulted ceiling.)
By that time, I was too crabby and tired to tape and prep, not to mention mentally unprepared to prime and paint. So I planned on getting up early this morning to start the process but dh is sick in bed with a bad case of the "ughs".
I know I should be taking care of his needs, like making a typical Sunday morning breakfast with a pot of freshly percolated coffee. Sigh. I somehow knew this was going to happen. (Not him getting sick, but me getting sidetracked.) It's my middle name.
I'll be sure to take a before and after photo and load it on here if I can figure it out.
